Made Saul king - The Septuagint has another reading, “and Samuel anointed Saul king there.” The example of David, who, besides his original anointing by Samuel 1 Samuel 16:12-13, was twice anointed, first as king of Judah 2 Samuel 2:4, and again as king over all Israel 2 Samuel 5:3, makes it probable that Saul was anointed a second time; but this may be included in the word “made king” (see 1 Samuel 12:3, 1 Samuel 12:5). return to 'Top of Page' Footnotes: Copyright Statement These files are public domain.
